Q: My passport is at the police station. The case is withdrawn by the other party. Can I pledge my friend's passport and go to India? I have some emergency in India. Please advise

Q: Hello, Around 2 years back, I was acquitted (found innocent) in a financial case in the Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal as well in Dubai. I received my passport back but I never went to the police station after that. I have changed visa and travelled without a problem. Recently, I applied for a Police Clearance Certificate and it was rejected. My brother went to the police station and they told him I have a file there. Now, I feel scared to go myself as I don't know if it's an old case I mentioned and I just need to clear it from the system or something new. Is this because I didn't submit the judgement papers to the police station? Or more likely some new case? I am interested in hiring a lawyer to help me with this. Thank you

Q: How much does it cost to get the complete case details registered with the Dubai Police and Court? Does it require Power of Attorney to get the case details?

إن الاستشارات القانونية هي أحد أهم أعمال المحاماة، وقد يعتقد البعض أنه ليس من الضروري تعيين محامي متخصص لأعمالهم أو شركاتهم إلا في حال التعرض لمشاكل قانونية، إلا أن حقيق الأمر تتطلب الحذر دائمًا، فبدلًا من أن تواجه ردود أفعال غير مرغوب فيها قد تكلفك الكثير من الوقت والجهد والمال، يمكنك الحصول على استشارة قانونية أياً كانت قيمتها فلا تقارن بقيمة الخسائر المادية والمشاكل القانونية التي قد تنتج عن التصرف بدونها، ولعل كثرة القضايا والمنازعات سببها عدم أخذ الرأي القانوني من أهل الخبرة.
